The Real Vikings Behind Characters In 'Valhalla'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- Vikings told the story of Ragnar Lothbrok, his first wife, Lagertha, and a host of other notable Scandinavians who lived, worked, and fought their way through the earliest part of the so-called Viking Age. The show depicted real men, women, and children with a mix of historical truth and fictional fodder through six seasons - but it only scratched the surface of the fascinating world of the Vikings.

I have about 5 episodes left on “Vikings” and will then watch the first season of “Valhalla”. I also plan on diving into “The Last Kingdom” as I’ve heard good things.
The last kingdom is Phenomenal
The Last Kingdom is excellent along with Valhalla.
I envy you for watching The last kingdom for the First time.
The Last Kingdom is Amazing. Historically speaking, it aligns with Vikings when the story starts around the time the Sons of Ragnar took England with the Great Heathen Army.
The Last Kingdom 🔥🔥
Suggestion: Growing up as a Viking child.
as a norwegian, i approve. learned about these stories throughout school ;)
As a Norwegian { born in Australia 🇦🇺 } I agree. Although , I would have liked to hear more about what was going on in Norway/Scandinavia within the overall timeline of this video . ♑️✍️❤️🔥🇳🇴
How do you feel about the blackwashing of Jarl Haakon
do u reed Icelandic saga in Norway. we don't reed Nors saga in Iceland.
As a Norwegian I cringe hearing the pronouncing of the names.....
Otherwise pretty accurate to what i remember from school and reading the sagas
@@Friendship1nmillion mainly clans against clans, conspiracy against each other and raiding... If you read the sagas they are quite bloody and gory....
One chieftain loved his wife (that he stole), so much that he slept with her dead body and guarded her corpse all day for a year, until his men drugged him to give her a burial and kill his usurper. They buried her when he was out of it, the chieftain killed the man who buried her and then killed his usurper. The other ones are even more gory....
If any of Y'all like Vikings, I highly recommend checking out the anime and manga Vinland Saga. It takes place during the life of Cnut. While it's definitely not 100% historically accurate, the author takes great pride in representing the time period.
Vinland saga is definitely a great anime i love it!
Great shout btw, I watched all 24 episodes over Sunday and Monday after reading your comment. Thanks 👍🏻 been looking for a good anime to watch
I'm loving it 💯
@@qudeeratilghman9883 it is
Yes, absolutely agreed, Vinland Saga is a brilliant anime and manga based on Vikings. I'd say it's definitely pretty great in its own ways of representing Vikings and the time period. The Author definitely takes pride in his representation of the time period while being very passionate about the story, characters and history.
Vinland Saga is amazing and There is alot of other great historical anime and manga that need recognition as well.
i also love watching/reading great Historical media in general.
The narrator has a great voice for these type of videos and his humor makes it better. I love this channel!
My God i can't remember even a single name. No doubt Vikings were great warriors who fought and conquered vast territories. I loved their series Vikings. Looking forward to Vikings Valhalla.
I'm surprised that he could pronounce those names
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Really cool seeing who the characters are based off!
Love this channel. I listen to it whilst washing dishes
Thank you for this video :-)
Nice I’m not here a month or year after its posted
This Channel always produces high quality content; intriguing and filled with engagement and education!
Then you obviously haven't watched the "Ways Medieval Armor Was More Dangerous Than Wearing Nothing" that they made and how they describe medieval armor was worse then wearing nothing. I mean just look at the comments. ua-cam.com/video/M6gria4X76k/v-deo.html
@@L0K0M0T1V awesome I'll check it out thanks for the share!
@@talkswithtomas3966 ua-cam.com/video/oB4sIeFsvTQ/v-deo.html
If you don't really know why the video was so bad here's a dude that explains it. For the next time maybe take the channel "Weird History" with a pinch of salt I'm not saying all their videos are bad but like cmon. For a history nerd like me this is just insulting.
If you screwed up a video this much then the rest of the channel maybe isn't as good as you would think. But who knows maybe they have improved their research, maybe they have learned from their mistakes, and maybe this was just a one time mistake. Who knows anymore.
This is probably my favorite video so far
Thanks for refreshing my memory on these stories I learned about them in school. I’m from Norwegian
The jokes get funnier and funnier lately. The BEST 😂
Low-IQ jokes that detract from the history.
I love history sm. Favourite subject!
Mine along with World Literature! 📖📕📘📗📓📚
@@alicerivierre same!
Me 2
I like how back in these days of hanging or a pulling of bodies apart it's time for picnic, I know there wasn't any in this story, and I often wonder did the guy pulling the guillotine cord or the one wielding the ax, go into counseling or just fade away with all that he was guilty for? As for Valhalla I've never heard of it.
Valhol.
@@DanCooper404 o sorry, still don't know, but I found this interesting.
2:12 I bought my last four vehicles on Craiglist...Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) found her Buick Regal on Craiglist on the film No Hard Feelings!
6:51 The Happy Meal premiered in 1979 (my birth year) and Jennifer Lawrence ate a Happy Meal during the Academy Awards ceremony she won Best Actress for her performance as Tiffany Maxwell in the movie Silve Linings Playbook.
Thanks for this! 🏔
I find the show pretty entertaining. That’s all I ask for in fictional media.
I've studied this stuff for years and a lot of these ideas are new to me, but the format of the video is really confusing, it feels like it's commenting on several different books very quickly.
I love that the screenshot at 4:49 is a still of Arthur Morgan with the Viking helmet on
That Tabernacle Choir joke was top tier
A Viking man can impress women by demonstrating how he takes his longship up a canal to deliver seeds which can be planted in fertile places.
You're like 13 aren't you
That was bad.
You should do The Last Kingdom!!
Such a good show
I love that show!
Thank you
😁👋👍👍👏👏🙏
Love for you to do a Viking video about them owning slaves and Everything to do with it. Apparently , those slaves were called " Throalls " hence the term " to be enthralled by someone " . ♑️✍️🇦🇺🇳🇴
Slaves were common through out the world at that time. And the right name is "trælle"..
@@heinedenmark So true. Enslavement was commonplace and practiced by almost every ancient society on the planet of yesteryear.
👍
we have a place called Drellborg in our parish
but like other Drelleborgs it's referring to warriors that aren't operating by their own free will but on command of the king
so Drell/Trell/"Throall" can refer generally to people working for someone else
the modern term "slave" comes from that time - before that many slavs were enslaved, those people were called latin SERVI
freydis actually killed her brothers, most likely framed to take power with the help of her powerful husband. the 5 women mentioned she orderd killed but the men refused to kill unarmed women, or so it is said. so she asked for an axe and killed them herself
huh.... so, they didn't talk about the black elephant in the room...
Lol, did u really think they would?
INTERESTING
I can't believe they made OLAF a saint...thank you for this video it was amazing!
According to legend. After the battle Tore Hund who slayed the king went back to field a tended to the king's dead body and buried him.
Tore Hund had hurt his hand but when he was done tending to the dead king his wound had healed.
Later, when Nidarosdomen (the first cathedral in Norway)was build Olav was exhumed and moved to the cathedral.
The sage tells us that his body was intact and even had longer hair and nails than before.
Also, Magnus den Gode went ona regular basis to his father's shrine and claimed he groomed the fallen king.
Weird how I seen the same similarities between Godwin and Littlefinger as well, interesting how you mentioned that reference here
I literally just watched the first episode a few minutes ago. Very timely! I hope the Vikings Valhalla stick a little bit more to history unlike the far deviation Vikings did in the later seasons
Don't give your hopes up. They have Haakon the good, one of the greatest vikings In Scandinavian history, played as a black woman.
If you want it to stick to history go watch a documentary instead!
@@mikatu I mean a little deviation is fine but when Alfred is king while Aethelred is still alive or that Bjorn Ironside has an affair with Aelswith or let Ivar be actually a cripple who kills his brother Sigurd (who's one of the better known "sons" of Ragnar btw) then that's just dumb. I like some liberties here and there but if you're gonna make a "historical drama" at least have a good semblance with how it was or else just add aliens and cowboys in it too.
@@JarlTryggve Yikesss. Yeah I started watching it and I didn't really have high expectations. I might not just watch it altogether after what you said. Vikings season 5 was just too painful to watch too. It's a shame because season 1-4 was awesome. At least The Last Kingdom was totally spectacular so it makes up for it I guess
Lol, yeah, not gonna happen being that they already want to play this ridiculous "diversity" game for the sake of pathetic virtue signaling. It's also on Netflix, not the History channel so that's just going to give them more leeway to completely fabricate and change History for the sake of more virtue signaling. I saw the first episode and was already irritated by the History changes that I haven't watched the rest since.
This narrator has the greatest voice ever
Loved the Vikings Valhalla series, and then, I got into writing my own Viking Action stories for Kindle and posting audio and image teasers to each story on my UA-cam page.
Do one about paint pigments!!
i like the treatment of these characters on VINLAND SAGA, checked all these vikings media for the manga, i love comparing the fiction to actual history
Finally a video about my heritage. I always wondered why i yearned to steal and......other stuff whenever i traveled to England as a kid....
The vikings were black people from Africa
@@Dirty_Hobo the conspiracy.
@@Dirty_Hobo Yes, yes, we know, every great and mighty people in all of world history was black.
Great shows for sure!!! That said, none of them are very close to historically accurate. I don’t mean little things either.
Vikings: Ragnar and Rollo lived nearly 200 years apart.
Last Kingdom: nearly everything to do with the Mercians. Especially Aethelred.
It puzzles me why film studios butcher the actual history for added drama. The real stories are actually more amazing than the shows.
Please don’t think I’m being prudish about it though. Their all amazing shows with a good deal of true history.
It's really dumb. I think it's writers just trying to feel like they're "making" something
I think half of the reason they butcher it is so their show/movie whatever doesn't become easily predictable. Especially if you study history like I do, watching shows and already knowing what's gonna happen because you studied it kind of takes the fun out of watching it. THAT SAID, it does still annoy me when they butcher the timeline anyway, especially when it comes to when certain people lived and died
10:38 ima practice this 😂😂😂
So do you think William the Conquer will be introduced in This new serious as a Character in future seasons.
Absolutely fascinating 👏 👍who would want to be known as the unready wow lol
I don't think Vinland is in Canada.
I recall hearing something about butternuts not growing further north than New England.
Then there's the stone found at Nomans land, at the western tip of Martha's Vineyard.
It has Leif's name and is dated MI the year 1001.
Sorry but butternuts do indeed grow in Canada. They grow in New Brunswick which is another possibility for Vinland.
Viking and berserker made HOLY HEALING'S OF MAGIC TEACHER 🎩...
Please make a video about Ethiopia 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹
Please make a video about Emma Goldman!
Wait a minute!... 6:12 ... Isn't that Helga and Floki? 😁
They got some of the coolest names though…
So what do I think? If you gave a pop quiz with that information overload I'd definitely fail! 😆
Dude. I watched that whole season in a day.....
Hey,
can you make a video that answers the question why the kingdom of poland was the only nation in medieval europe spared from the black plague.?
if they gonna make a movie about medieval poland, I'm sure them wouldn't get spared from some sort of black plague neither....
Like dont take me lucky charms...
King Ironside……..legend
Do a video on the Kee Bird. The b-29 that was forced to land in Greenland, and was in good enough shape to be flown out under its own power almost 50 years later. but caught fire during takeoff.
Btw. I thought the Vikings were farmers and wanted land in England. The English said no, so they wrecked havoc. 🤔🤷🏻♀️
u r were close to it.
Cnut centralized a lot of power on himself, which is why it all fell apart immediately after he died. I'd call that many things, "great" isn't one of them.
DC comics had 2 vikings:Jon the Viking Prince and the Viking Commando who was transferred to WW2...I didn't know Eric the Red had a daughter..a son maybe
Ola England must see this.
It’d be cool to have a pint with Harland Hardrada’s battle buddy during breakfast; I’d like to toast Tostig over some toast.
Continuing a Weird History sequence!
Eating a Spiced Sausage Pattie*†...while watching this Weird History video!
This is a Future Nebraska Breakfast sequence!
* Sausage patties are from the Weird History video "The Savory History Of The McMuffin."
† The sausage is Jimmy Dean.
Hakoon was best character from rest of them as she fighting for protection of her subjects like a true queen which christians lack as they were killing people just because they were following religion of their ancestors .
I'm not sure about Vikings Valhalla, but I'd certainly watch the cut-throat Brady Bunch.
I think, that when making a grand, expensive production like "Vikings". That it should be 100% historically correct.

Erlend the Viking ;)
Do peacky blinders
Oh you guys! Vikings couldn't make a Craigslist ad! They didn't speak American.
vikings = Icelandic. is wery simular to Englis.
It's crazy to be living your life. Then centuries later. Your life is turned into a t.v series.
0:57 you say olaf trigvarsson, but show olaf haraldsson
Unready did not mean unprepared.
Suggestion: The history of Deadwood vs. what's portrayed in the show
My mom was a big history buff and after watching Deadwood - I was only in Middle School and definitely not allowed to watch it with her - I was web searching via Wikipedia to find out Al Swearengen was a real person. My mom didn’t know that
Timeline??????
Newfoundland has viking settlements on it
You forgot the expedition of Igzaks the Budderfield to the land Down under. He met with a tribe of Indian hawkers and traded tadpoles for booty. Thus creating a new race of Buttsmans. Midic stankz was the ruler of this land
I haven't seen the show so I gotta ask...why is it called Valhalla if the characters aren't in Valhalla?
How about the most successful Viking purges?
Hey, Hey, Wickie, Hey Wickie Hey!
Zieh fest das Segel an
Mmmm... Vinland Saga vibes.
THORFINNNNNN!!!
Embrace death like you emBrAce life !! Whitout Fear ! 🍻🍻🍻
id rather you'd done The Last Kingdom. far closer to history and covers far more
vikings is very close to history too.
@@NordicFireDKK Not really. Maybe in the first four seaons. In what viking history is there a cripple son of Ragnar who kills his own brother Sigurd? Lol. Also Harald Finehair is a late descendant of Sigurd so why is he on the same timeline lol
Where is the decades history that was your best series
SKOL my Viking brothers!!!!!
Sputnik Monroe
Vinland saga ❤️
If you can research all this. Research the cree people. that would be a challenge
Cree and Ojibway
Why? Out of respect let's leave the telling of the History of the cree tribe to them.
@@IrishCinnsealach ikr!!! Like the Vikings
Leif's name is pronounced Lay - f
9rain?
Not bad Knute But to form the North Sea empire you have to be king of Norway England and Denmark for at least 50 years…
I would hate to have been in school and learn about Cnut, my dyslexia would have CRAPPED all over that man’s name.
LOL Egbert.
O Illusions...
This get very confusing at 9 minutes in
Kis Kisko long horror story Suna pasand hai please tell me
My ancestors are vikings
Olaf "KHRILJDJASSON"
How hard is it to pronounce "Haraldsson", jebus christ.
har alds son. heidenrich. = sky kingdom. ?
I will always question the accuracy of a television show that uses a word to name it, that these people they speak of never actually used themselves.
Valhall A indeed.
Constraints of this platform negate my ability to tell you what to do with your Haakon Jarl.
I love American history yay
Too many names
This series is better than the last few seasons of Vikings. I really enjoyed it
Makes me wanna play Assassin Creed’s Valhalla now…
But where is the “black woman” Viking??? 🙄
In fiction section
@@nandinhocunha440 Exactly.
In the minds of the woke writers. Black female leader of Vikings. Sure.
You would have to wonder if she was the descendent of prisoners taken during Viking raids in North Africa/the Mediterranean but I HIGHLY doubt that’s what the writers were aiming for. Kinda like how there are now black elves on the upcoming LoTR tv series on Prime video.
@@TXnine7nine if they did that, it would be OK. But they named her after a white male, I knew Netflix would ruin Vikings. Everyone knew it
My veterinarian said the reason there are so many blonds in Scandinavia and so many people with bad teeth in England because the Vikings took all the pretty women with them
